Cloud & Network Engineer @ Vodafone Idea Limited | AWS Infrastructure, Network Optimization

About

I enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems—especially where networking meets the cloud. I’m a Cloud & Network Engineer with 2+ years of experience in telecom, now actively building my path toward a Cloud Engineer role. My day-to-day work goes beyond routing and switching—I design, deploy, and troubleshoot AWS-based environments that support scalable and reliable systems. I’ve worked hands-on with AWS services like EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, and Load Balancers, setting up secure and high-performing cloud architectures. I’m comfortable managing Linux servers, building VPC networks with public/private subnets, and resolving real-world issues across hybrid environments—whether it’s DNS failures, routing misconfigurations, or connectivity gaps between on-prem and cloud. What sets me apart is my strong networking foundation combined with cloud skills. I understand how systems connect, where they break, and how to fix them efficiently. I’ve also collaborated with cross-functional teams to improve system reliability and reduce downtime, while supporting CI/CD workflows and infrastructure monitoring. Right now, I’m focused on growing into a Cloud Engineer role where I can design scalable cloud solutions, automate infrastructure, and contribute to modern, cloud-first environments.
